I have an idea....Identification of HHO'ers at events

[wizoz]

Whilst out competing this season, we should all put our user names on our jackets or somewhere visible anyway, so that whilst walking around, we can all spot each other

I don't know about you guys but I feel really silly going up to people I've never met going, "HI, I'm WIZOZ"!!!!

Can you imagine it, I bet there would be huge congregations at events and other people would wonder what the heck was going on

Actually, to hell with that, why not just have an HHO hospitality tent, with free flowing booze

 

[Hattikins]

Ive had plenty of times when someone has come up to me saying "hi are you Hattikins" and i say "yes" and get really excited and then probably look blankly at them because i havent got a clue who they are until they say "im so and so" and then its fine!! Very embaressing but funny and breaks the ice usually!

an HHO hospitality tent would just be fantastic!! lol!!!!! it would probably be packed!

OR... we could have a secret handshake!


hehe I'm joking. Good idea though, a sort of subtle metal pin badge would be nice

 

[Judie]

Not sure I'd want TOG on my jacket, I'd get loads of other 'Terry's Old Geezers' coming up to me instead of HHO'ers

 

[Irishcobs]

Well I have "Irishcobs" on the back of my Bronte coat. But in the summer I won't be wearing it.
Normally I look out for lorries or the horses and hope I recognise people.

 

[Ottinmeg]

my oldest reckons we should all walk around with HHO t shirts on at events so we can recognise each other!

 

[wizoz]

Right, who works for a company that can mass produce badges? Could have a badge made with HHO MEMBER on it? Perhaps we could chat up H&H to provide them, oh and the hospitality tent AND provisions

 

[Irishcobs]

We did badges for Badders a couple of years ago. They said something like Username and HHO forum.
I still have mine somewhere.

 

[trefilan]

i think we all do need something. there is propably so many of us at the same events and we dont know as we walk past. i dont think i would wear camel_horse on my jacket !!
badges sound a good idea

 

[BroadfordQueen]

Yay, hopefully will see alot of HHO'ers this year as have finally got my arse into gear and joined BE!

Most people would notice me and Tara during the dressage phase- look for the giraffe lookalike

 

[ChestnutMonty]

Sounds like a great idea!

 

[SunshineTallulah]

I was at a show and another forum user was at the same event.

This girl came up to me and said "er hello sunshinetallulah?" and I replied "oh sorry but no my horse is called....."

I did remember eventually!!

How completely embarrassing for both us.

Perhaps a certaind design of stock pin would do the trick!

 

[Bossanova]

We did a badge thing a couple of years ago, I lost mine quite quickly- it was a bit embarrassing walking round with Bossanova plastered across my chest!!

That would be great. HHO and the username

 

[monica987]

I thinkw e should have a post where we all post a picture of us and our horse and maybe Lorry/trailor/car clearly so that we could recognise each other?

 

[dieseldog]

I would be way too embarassed to wear one. I like being a secret geeky nerd

 

[SpottedCat]

LOL but my horse is bay with no white markings...thus making him indistinguishable from about half a million other horses!

 

[monica987]

BUT if there was you ontop - SC we need a picture of your lorry sign - makes me chuckle every time i think of it - I want one; mine would say 'Impatient, greedy horse inside. PLease do not fedd it, look at it or give it any form of attention whatso-ever'

 

[_April_]

I wouldn't want one that says 'Forum' either DD LOL

But a small badge that says HHO is quite subtle. I hadn't heard of HHO till last year (how?!)

 

[SpottedCat]

No no no! The sign is highly embarrassing but totally effective, and makes everyone laugh!

 

[monica987]

It's so cool!!! I want it

what happens if you sell your lorry though ??!
I am going to make that post me thinks

 

[SpottedCat]

It is a laminated sheet held on with duct tape, so easily moved!

 

[Ferdinase514]

I remember the badges.... it think

Am planning a large banner for front of Jezzie-truck for Badminton.

 

[monica987]

oooh! wowie! I really need one

 

[madhector]

We definatly need a way of identifying each other, but not sure I want to walk around with madhector across my jacket

maybe I should change my user name to something less odd

 

[kerilli]

maybe we should get HHO put on our lorries too...

 

[_April_]

Nah You will always be MADhector to me

i have tried a few times to think of a different username but I always go back to April.

Banner is a fun idea FMC!! We might have something for our tent if I manage to get organised lol

Ha ha I think I saw this at Hartpury last time and it made me laugh! I could do with a sign like that too!

See I quite like being anon, have met quite a few HHOers who didnt realise who I was
